[arch-dev-public] possible mkinitcpio-31-3 package
Hi folks, I would like to bring a new mkinitcpio package to [testing], to finally cleanup my archboot initcpio workaround hacks.
Adressing the following issues on FS:
- Adding NEW parameter MODULES_DECOMPRESS to mkinitcpio.conf: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/72882 The old behaviour of decompressing modules stays the default
- Adding full symlink support: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/73493
- Allow reproducable builds in case of /var/cache exists in initramfs: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/73817
- Added zst firmware compression support for future kernel versions
The proposed patch to add is located here: https://pkgbuild.com/~tpowa/symlink-compression.patch Thanks for your feedback. greetings tpowa
Hi All paches now send as PR on github. Thanks for reviewing them and if it moves to gitlab perhaps I could get write access again to mkinitcpio git.
greetings tpowa

This is really not a topic for arch-dev-public, please discuss it directly with the maintainer, move the discussion to arch-projects or GitHub[1].

Hi, sorry but not getting any answer on IRC makes the impression it is rather unmaintained. I just wanted to know when I can expect the release, that was promised for march also the move to gitlab has not yet happened. greetings tpowa

Tobias,
I think that you should've reached directly to me, instead of sending this again on a-d-p. As you're aware, I had health issues that prevented me from doing much on the last few weeks, and I'm resuming working on stuff.
Also, I'm perfect fine if you're willing to co-maintain mkinitcpio, but it should not be just so you can make the changes you want to do so, it should be for the overall improvement of the project.
Regards, Giancarlo Razzolini
